MINIMUM CLEARANCES

1. FIGURE 1 shows how to measure freestanding clearances for Country Flame catalytic models covered by this

manual. Table 1 provides minimum clearances for specific models that must be maintained in FIGURE 1. The
installer should familiarize themselves with FIGURE 1 and TABLE 1, understand MINIMUM CLEARANCE
requirements, incorporate, and maintain these clearances during installation.

Official wall clearances to combustibles are located on each Safety Testing Label that is located on the
back of each Country Flame catalytic stove. REMEMBER that all minimum clearances must be
measured and maintained from that part of the stove that is nearest to the combustible material. If there
is any doubt or confusion about clearance requirements, refer to both national and local codes. Failure
to properly install a stove and maintain proper clearances voids the warranty and can lead to a house
fire.
